Azure AD Connect - This app cannot run on your PC

Question

I was trying to configure AD Connect to allow Hybrid join. When the app ask for Global Administrator credentials I got an error that I need to Restart Azure AD Connect with the / Interactive Auth.

When I did that using terminal and command AzureADConnect.exe /InteractiveAuth I cannot open AD Connect app anymore.
It shows - This app cannot run on your PC

@Mārcis Apologies for the delay in reviewing this post, was researching on your issue and then came across your post on stackoverflow as well - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75458684/azure-ad-connect-do-not-start where you mentioned Os version is Windows Server 2022.

As per this documentation, we have mentioned installation of Azure AD Connect on Server 2022 is not yet supported.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-prerequisites#:~:text=note%20that%20Windows%20Server%202022%20is%20not%20yet%20supported.

Would recommend installing Azure AD Connect on a different server with the prerequisites mentioned in the above shared article and configure it in staging mode before moving it to production.
